Song Xu has been in this world for more than ten days, and has been living in the stone cave of the big snake almost all the time. The big snake almost never comes out of the cave except for going out to bask in the sun and take care of personal hygiene when the sun is out, and Song Xu has never seen him eat.
This morning, Song Xu hugged her rumbling stomach, sighed deeply, and resignedly prepared to get up and rush for today's food.
Wumu, who usually stayed in the corner motionless at this time, like a fake snake, suddenly moved and left the cave before her.
Song Xu became curious, what was he doing at this time?
It was a cloudy day outside today, and the forest was shrouded in a layer of white mist. The wet forest will have white mist in the morning and at night, but today's mist is particularly heavy. Song Xu followed the big snake to see where he was going.
Wumu was very fast. His tail, as thick as an adult's waist, swam on the wet moss without making any sound. Song Xu just chased after him and tried his best to keep himself from being left behind.
The little squirrel was furious: What's so great about having long legs!
The big snake had "legs" that were more than 20 meters long. Song Xu measured them inch by inch with his hands while the snake was sleeping. It was the closest to the correct number and more accurate than the initial visual estimate.
When she was measuring, the snake didn't move at all, which made Song Xu's courage grow day by day. Besides measuring, she also did not forget to touch and caress it. Sometimes, when the snake was annoyed by her touch, it would just move its body and change its posture to avoid her. It would not even raise its head and hiss.
Only once, perhaps because it was really annoyed, it crawled into a small cave above the stone cave to hide. It was the first time that Song Xu discovered that there was a small hiding place.
The fat body of the snake blocked the small cave tightly, leaving only a piece of its tail that could not be squeezed in and hung down, like a long vine attached to the stone wall.
It looked so fierce, but it was so cute and gentle. The little squirrel was unprecedentedly brave. He put his hands on his hips and thought: What is there to be afraid of? At most, he will hold me in his mouth, but he will spit me out in the end!
She not only completed the measurement, but also measured it twice for accuracy.
Song Xu ran wildly on the tree and chased, leaving a little smell as a mark. The forest is so big that many places look almost the same. It is difficult to tell the directions. If you don’t rely on the smell left behind to find your way, it is easy to get lost.
After running for a long time, led by the big snake, they came to an unfamiliar waterside.
This looks like a section of a river, which is larger than the swamp Song Xu found last time. There are fallen trees along the waterside, and most of the soil at the roots of the trees growing by the waterside has been washed away, leaving a complex root system like a cage in the water.
There are many kinds of water birds by the waterside. Song Xu saw at least hundreds of bird nests on a tree. This may be the habitat of a family of water birds.
When he got here, Song Xu already understood what the big snake was doing. He must be here for the buffet.
Wumu's arrival did not alarm the animals drinking water by the waterside. He lingered on the tree. Song Xu stayed on the branch of a tree not far away, watching the big snake hunting in front of him with some nervousness.
From her position, she couldn't see the whole body of the snake. She could only see most of its tail hidden by the branches.
So she turned to look at the larger animals by the water, trying to guess what the snake was going to eat today.
Was it a deer grazing on the other side of the river, or an animal like a bison with half of its body submerged in the water?
Or a big wild boar with its cubs by the river?
Before Song Xu finished counting the animals drinking water in this area, Wumu had already started his hunting. With such a fast speed, he definitely didn't choose the phobia.
He chose the closest and largest bison.
That bison should be the big brother in the tribe. Its muscles arched on its back, with distinct contours. It was obviously stronger than its companions and should be very strong. Unfortunately, it encountered a terrifying giant snake. The bison's outstanding strength could not be exerted to the level it should be in front of this giant snake.
It was strangled by the snake's tail, and its four hooves were in the air without any power. The horns on its head turned desperately but could not hurt the predator. It could only be strangled by the slowly tightening tail and let out a cry of fear and pain.
Song Xu even felt that he heard the sound of the bison's ribs breaking under the huge pressure of the snake's tail... This was of course an auditory hallucination.
But the bison's bones were indeed broken, and its bulging body was obviously partially squeezed.
Song Xu looked at the snake's tail that was wrapped around the bison, hugged the furry tail, and felt the pain in her bones.
She saw how terrible the strength of the big snake was. You know, when it was wrapped around the bison just now, it didn't look like it was using any strength at all.
It was the first time she saw a big snake hunting, and it was also the first time she saw a big snake turn into a complete beast.
The beautiful face that could communicate before has now turned into a huge snake head. The temperament of the ferocious predator gives people a strong sense of oppression, especially when he opened his snake mouth and swallowed the helpless bison bit by bit... If Song Xu saw such a complete version of the big snake at the beginning, she probably wouldn't dare to approach and touch it again and again.
However, he was a bit funny after he finished eating. The bison digested food slowly, so a bulge appeared in his stomach. Only that one spot was bulging, which made the rest of the tail look thin.
Song Xu: If I were to turn back into an orc at this moment, would it be like being pregnant with a big belly... Oh no, I'm actually a little excited. Something's wrong!
The other animals near the water had been scared away by the noise of the giant snake hunting just now. The area became very quiet. The giant snake took a rest nearby and rested its head on a nearby rock.
Song Xu thought he might be sleeping, but the giant snake in beast form didn't blink like a human. Song Xu stared at his red eyes for a long time, but couldn't tell whether he was sleeping or not.
Patting her cheeks, Song Xu came to her senses after the hunt. She decided to find something to eat nearby. It happened that even the water birds were scared away. She could go and pick up some water bird eggs. She hadn't eaten eggs for a long time and wanted to eat them.
Large beasts have their own hunting methods, and small animals have their own skills in finding food. Song Xu is now more and more skilled at being a squirrel. She quickly picked up some water bird eggs. Picking up
water bird eggs feels like picking up eggs for a chicken farmer. As long as you walk into the chicken coop, there are eggs everywhere. It's a great joy to have a harvest.
Today you can eat boiled eggs, fried eggs, and egg drop soup. Oh, and you can also find some vegetables to make soup.
Eggs are easy to break and difficult to store. If you want to transport them back safely, you need to use the squirrel's secret weapon - the cheek pouch. The cheek pouch in the squirrel's mouth is very large and can store food like a pocket. As a squirrel beastman who can change her form, her cheek pouch is even bigger.
After washing the water bird eggs and putting them in the cheek pouch, Song Xu touched her big face and was able to jump and continue looking for food, such as looking for seeds of plants under the tree, which are also food that squirrels can eat.
Most of the squirrel's food-finding skills were inherited from the memory of his original body "Song". These precious skills prevented Song Xu from getting hungry in the forest.
Song Xu was so serious about finding food that he turned around and found that the big snake that had been resting there not long ago was gone.
After returning to the stone cave, the big snake was indeed lying in his corner again. Song Xu glanced at him, took out the stone bowl he had found before and placed it on the simple stove he had built, and started to make a fire and boil water. She took out the eggs and assigned them tasks, two for egg soup, two for boiling, and two for boiled eggs in the afternoon.
She was busy, and when the water in the stone bowl boiled, she cracked the eggs in and stirred them.
"It's so hard to heat water in a stone bowl. It would be nice to have an iron pot. If not, a clay pot will do." As she said this, she put all the sprouts, seeds and flowers she found into the egg soup, and of course, salty powder.
While rubbing her paws and waiting to drink the soup, she suddenly realized that she didn't have a spoon to drink the soup with.
Making a spoon is also simple. Take a piece of branch, use a beast tooth knife and claws to cut and pinch it hard, and you can always make a spoon. But in the end, Song Xu found that using a beast tooth knife and claws to make a spoon is not as convenient as chewing it directly with teeth.
Her teeth have been itching lately, and she felt much better chewing on a wooden spoon, so she bit off two spoons in one go. Although they don't look very good, they are good spoons for drinking soup.
Song Xu couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup, tears welled up in her eyes, and she muttered to herself: "I can't be a culinary genius, how can it be so delicious!"
Nowadays, children rarely cook, and Song Xu is no exception. She rarely goes to the kitchen. If the aunt wants to eat, she will prepare it for her and bring it to the restaurant or her room. Before this, she had never tried to cook.
She drank sip after sip, and finally drank it all. She looked at the remaining half pot of soup with embarrassment. She didn't have experience and added too much water.
Or, is her roommate willing to share her food? Song Xu walked to the corner with the stone pot.
Wumu rested his head on a big stone as usual. He had turned back into a half-orc. Song Xu regretfully discovered that his abdomen was only slightly bulging.
Could orcs digest food so quickly?
"I made soup. It's delicious. Do you want to drink it?" Having just watched him hunting, Song Xu became a little more cautious. She asked softly at the back of his head instead of pulling him directly.
Wumu didn't respond. Song Xu muttered in his ear, "Dalang, get up and drink the soup, Dalang, drink the soup, drink the soup, Dalang."
Turning his head to look at her, Wumu spat out a tongue. Song Xu quickly moved the stone pot to his chin, and the tongue just happened to poke into the soup.
Wumu: "...hiss."
He opened his mouth, expressionless and a little fierce, as if he wanted to hiss her. Song Xu raised her hand and scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth. Seeing that Wumu's mouth was not closed for a long time, she held his chin with her hand to close it, and asked him expectantly: "How is it, is it delicious?"
Wumu quickly stuck out his tongue from the gap between his lips. Song Xu felt that his expression was like a person who subconsciously stuck out his tongue because he tasted something he didn't like.
Quickly moving his chin away from her hand, Wumu moved to the small stone cave above and hid his upper body.
